Have you ever looked upon the ordinary bulbs that we are used to? Have you ever checked a better version of them?

At LEDMyplace, we have various indoor lighting solutions, where, one of the categories is LED Downlights and Disk lights. They are more efficient with energy consumption and lumen output while CFL bulbs don't have the same efficiency.

LED Downlights are “recessed luminaries” and installed on the ceiling. These downlights come in a standardized size of 4 inches, 5/6 inch, 8 inches and 10 inches and they directly replace CFL and PL-C downlight fixtures. The best part is that they can be dimmed with most of the LED dimmers available in the market.
